Very attractive design! Definitely put time and effort into the hosting company as well as your advertising campaigns! I wish you the best of luck, one head of host to another!

Thanks for your input! We can't take all the credit, though - The website design was done by Connor Peet (www.peet.io), a close friend of mine. Unfortunately, he was hired by a very lucky company and no longer offers public web design/development.

I wanted to take some time today to clear up some misconceptions about the different services we provide, what we offer, and how our prices are so low. Here at Ready2Frag, we believe in providing a quality service at a low price. We believe that every server should be given the resources it needs to succeed and grow as a community.

1. We do not oversell! We guarantee underselling of every single node. Our nodes are underloaded to 80% resource utilization or less. We do this because we believe that every server should receive the best possible performance and fair access to our premium hardware. If you are still unsure what this means for your server, I encourage you to contact our support team for a more detailed explanation and proof of underselling!

2. We own our hardware! Unlike many companies, we do not rent our servers. We do not use a budget provider. As a registered branch and brand of HostVenom LLC., we are able to take advantage of their large 30-rack suite within the Steadfast Networks 725 S. Wells facility in downtown Chicago. The facility itself features power, network, and cooling redundancy on all levels. Our network features connectivity to over 5 global bandwidth providers as well as connection to Chicago's largest internet exchanges. This provides the best possible routing and lowest latency for users around the globe.

Will a shared hosting service just not "do it" for your server or community? Don't forget that we offer dedicated servers too! As the name implies, this means that you get your very own dedicated machine! All the system resources can be used for your server(s) and will not be shared with any other clients! We also offer easy management solutions - for a minimal extra fee, we'll install a control panel of your choice as well as any game prerequisites on your dedicated server.

Some people worry that buying a shared server means that they cannot easily upgrade to a dedicated server later on. Here at Ready2Frag, we wish to put that fear to rest! We're always open to helping your server(s) and community expand. When you reach the point that you need a dedicated server, we will happily transfer your server from our shared nodes to your new dedicated server absolutely free of charge (assuming that your dedicated server is through Ready2Frag or HostVenom).

Don't forget that we offer game server control panels for a small extra fee with dedicated servers! Feel free to contact support at any time with your questions, comments, or concerns!

I'm back again with a quick round of updates for our clients, both present and future.

As a company, we have grown extraordinarily fast over the past 6 months that we've been in operation. We've have an overwhelmingly positive response to the services that we provide and have created a friendly and involved hosting experience for our clients and their communities. In our continued mission to sustain the level of quality that we prefer, as well as to improve and expand our services, we have seen it fit to release a new round of updated services, updated prices, and updated policies.

Recently, we have been offering a grace period of a couple of days for dedicated server clients. After multiple clients have failed to inform us of cancellations beforehand, then taken advantage of the grace period system, we are deciding to make the call to no longer offer said grace period on the dedicated machines. Dedicated servers will return to the normal system of a 5-day suspended period of time before becoming a terminated service if not paid within those 5 days.

Dedicated servers are a massive capital investment for us as a provider. As we own all of our hardware, we make the investments in high-quality hardware in the interest of providing the best possible service to our clients, both current and future. When clients take advantage of us in this way, it makes us less willing to offer the grace period and other advantages that we hold over many other providers.

Website Changes - We will be updating our website to include pages for our full suite of services. [Taking Action 11/1/2014]

We've decided to update our website with our newer services. We will be adding dedicated pages for Web Hosting and Voice Servers under the Hosting tab on the top menu. This is a relatively minor change and will not effect your usability of our website in any way.

Service Updates - New Web Hosting Plans [Taking Action 11/1/2014]

We are updating our web hosting plans to better serve the gaming communities, servers, and networks that we host. As a complete provider of gaming-related services, we want to ensure that we are offering a full suite of services for our customers to take advantage of. It is our goal to provide an affordable and high-performance web hosting service.

Service Updates - New Minecraft Server Pricing for NEW CUSTOMERS ONLY [Taking Action 11/1/2014]

Don't let this turn you away! We're offering a 25% off for LIFE coupon code starting 11/1/2014 and ending 1/2/2015!

We have seen it fit to raise the pricing of our Minecraft hosting services from $6 / GB to $8 / GB.Please note that current customers will NOT be effected by this change. We have chosen to raise our prices to support great new locations, better server-side optimizations, better server performance, and even better support. We have an obligation to provide a high-quality hosting service as well as the basic resources that you need to effectively run and expand your server(s), clan, or community.

We currently have plans to expand our operations to a new East Coast location, and later to a West Coast location. By the end of 2015, we expect to have effective game server hosting coverage of the continental United States - West, Central, and East.

To lessen the shock this may have on new clients who are considering our services, we are offering an awesome 25% off for life! This deal will last until January 2, 2015. This 25% off for life deal keeps our pricing at the $6 / GB level until we’re ready to launch the New Jersey location.

Use the coupon code "november" when ordering to get ANY GAME SERVER for 25% off! This deal will last for the lifetime of the service. For Minecraft servers, 25% off = $6 / GB RAM (And $1.50 dedicated IPs); for Source/Valve servers, 25% off = $0.75 / Slot!

Sometimes, people just want to know all that they can about the company they rent their servers from. I'm taking some time today to type out a longer post explaining more about our infrastructure, servers, network, and service in general.

As we readily advertise, we operate under a DBA of HostVenom, LLC. HostVenom is a successful dedicated server and custom IT solutions provider registered in New York. HostVenom operates a large suite in the Steadfast Networks 725 S. Wells facility in downtown Chicago, IL. This premiere location and facility offers some of the best nationwide and global connectivity and location for latency-sensitive applications. We (as an overall company) operate a 30-rack suite in this Chicago facility and feature multiple redundant 10Gbps uplinks.

We own all of our hardware. We outright own everything from the Cisco and Dell networking hardware we utilize in our racks to the Kingston or Super Talent RAM we use in our machines, and everything in between. Some server owners wonder what the significance of owning your hardware brings them - It means that we're able to have the most control possible over the infrastructure that we provide. It means that we, as a company, can respond to any issues in a timely and complete manner. It means that we can provide the best quality service possible at fair prices.

We like to boast about our network. We utilize the Steadfast Networks blend on unprotected servers (or for outbound traffic on protected servers). The Steadfast network is routed and designed for low-latency, high-speed industries such as banking, education, and gaming. With a network blend powered by Level(3), NTT America, GTT (Tinet), Tata Communications, Cogent, and peering to the Equinix Exchange in Chicago, your data will get where it needs to be in the most efficient way possible.

For the DDoS Protection we offer for game servers, dedicated servers, web hosting, and VPSs, we utilize GigeNET. GigeNET has a location within Chicago and offers low-latency connectivity to our facility from their own. When your service is set up with DDoS Protection, all inbound data (Data from the internet TO your server) goes through GigeNET's premium blend - powered by Level(3), PCCW Global, nLayer, TeliaSonera, Cogent, XO, and HE.net - and is monitored for malicious incoming traffic. Any malicious traffic is mitigated, and the clean traffic is allowed through with little to no effect on your server's performance or connectivity.

We hope that this answers some commonly asked questions and addresses some doubts about our services that anybody may have.

We've added bitcoin as a payment method! If you prefer to pay for your services with bitcoin instead of traditional currency, or just have some left over bitcoin to spend, you can now get your very own game server with Ready2Frag!

We hope you enjoy and never hesitate to contact us with your questions or suggestions!

This sale starts today and will end Tuesday December 2nd!

Here's Why - We see this as an excellent opportunity for those who are curious about our services to take them for a low-cost test run. Here at Ready2Frag, we don't believe in overselling, we don't believe in scummy business ideology. What we believe in is providing the best possible service to the most awesome customers (that's you!) ever! We're thankful for the opportunity to offer your server and community a great head start.

It's getting to the time of year in which the holiday spirit starts to show itself. We want to help out those who are in need this holiday season, and will be working on a more detailed game plan over the next few weeks.

We've got a few ideas to help out folks around the world this season, including:

Pledging a certain amount of our own profits to a charity of the community's choice...

Holding charity-oriented live streams for various games...

And more to be announced soon.

This is part of our Community Advancement drive, which will make its way well into 2015 as we start to give back to those who made our company possible. We know that you make this all possible, and I want to extend my personal thanks and show how grateful we are for the extraordinary support that we have received during the past 8 months.

Well, 2014 is coming to an end. And we're looking forward to a great 2015!

In the past 8 months, we've made many great strides to improve the services that we provide to the community. We've launched new services and features that allow our clients to take their servers and communities further than ever before. We've successfully taken on the challenges of hosting large networks and clients. We've brought high-quality and cost-effective hosting solutions to gamers around the world. We've sponsored charity events to help those in need. We've grown our services as a whole.

Best of all, we as a company haven't forgotten the reason we're here. We're here because of the amazing support of the community and our clients - that's you! I wanted to take this time to say that it has been an amazing learning experience for myself and my staff. We have grown a lot as a team and look forward to providing only the best possible service for years to come.

We want to start off 2015 right. We want your feedback on our services, support, and control panels. We want your feedback so we can known what we're doing well, what needs improvement, and what just works. In 2015, we plan to launch a location in downtown New York City. This location will feature excellent connectivity to our friends in Europe and players here in North America as well, allowing you to build an international community with no lag or unfair gameplay for either party.
